Avec tout mon respect, l’industrie de la mode est le pire contrevenant concernant le sujet de l’empreinte carbone.
A la place de ces démonstrations absurdes et ces vidéos inefficaces de marches, pourquoi ne pas faire un appel au boycott pendant un an de tous les voyages en avion de la communauté mondiale de la mode.
Il n’y a plus besoin de ça dans l’ère digitale. Pensez au gaspillage laissé par l’empreinte carbone de Karl Lagerfeld. Pensez à celui laissé par l’ensemble de la rédaction de Vogue en un an.
Pensez à l’empreinte carbone annuelle de Kim Kardashian.
Tout ça pour quoi ? Des Selfies.
Chacun des photographes que vous représentez doit publiquement signer un accord et annoncer l’initiative ONE MILE. Ce qui signifie que pour l’année 2016 chaque image qu’ils produisent sera créée à moins d’un mile de leur résidence principale. Cela signifie qu’il refuseront toute mission qui exigera un voyage inutile.
Pensez à ce gaspillage de ressources malsain pour la présentation de la collection croisière de CHANEL 2017 qui aura lieu à la Havane le 3 Mai 2016.
Tout les rédacteurs en chef de magazines et les célébrités devraient boycotter cet événement.
Propagez l’initiative ONE MILE.
Demandez aux 100 meilleurs modèles dans le monde de refuser de participer à tout shooting de mode ou événements qui les obligeraient à s’y rendre autrement qu’a pied ou en vélo. NO LIMOS.
Le Hashtag #ClimateCatwalk est encore un parfait exemple créé par la communauté de la mode pour faire son auto-promotion.
With all due respect, the fashion industry is the worse offender when discussing carbon footprint. Instead of a demonstration or the absurd and honestly ineffectual « walking » videos why not call for a boycott of all air travel for one year by the global fashion community. There is no need for it in the digital age. Think of Karl Lagerfeld’s wasteful carbon footprint. The entire editorial staff of VOGUE in a single year. Think of the Kardashian’s yearly carbon footprint. All for what, selfies.
Everyone of the photographers you represent should publicly sign an agreement and announce the ONE MILE initiative. Meaning that for all of 2016 every image they produce will be created within one mile of their main residence. That they will refuse to accept any assignment that requires any form of unnecessary travel. Think of the insane waste of resources to present the CHANEL Cruise 2017 collection in Havana on May 3rd 2016. Every editor and celebrity should boycott that event.
Extend the ONE MILE initiative. Have the 100 top models in the world refuse to participate in any fashion shoot or event that requires them to do anything but walk to it or ride a bicycle. NO LIMOS.
#ClimateCatwalk is just another example of the fashion communities need for self-promotion.

![The intersection of persona, product, propaganda, and profit. In 2021 is the brand Supreme any different than the brand GAGOSIAN? No. They are both strategic entities focused on valuations, cultural and capital. Each bestow status on their investors. What I am fascinated by is that they both trade in Dead Data. I find no intellectual difference between a Supreme x John Woo collaboration as GAGOSIAN exhibiting Harmony Korine’s paintings. In each case the two of them are basing the products social influence and exchange value on established [Dead] [Data] information. Both are DOA. Each of the artists and brands chosen for the first exhibition STUPID and the second DROPS are attempting an impossible narrative, to raise dead informational bits. What I find Intellectually horrifying is the scale of the audience and the financial market for this morbid display. The culturally transgressive destroys established values. The works in STUPID and DROPS are intellectual crimes in that they present what has already lost all meaning and value and the propaganda creates an altogether false meta-value. The transgressive preserves creative innocence by exposing the inherent corruption of the status quo.
